TikTok makeup influencer Mikayla Nogueira is continuing to receive hate a week after posting her sponsored review of the L’Oréal Telescopic Lift mascara.
For those unversed to the controversy, now dubbed mascaragate, the social media influencer faced intense scrutiny after posting an exaggerated review of the mascara where she was seen singing praises of it, without clearly disclosing the sponsored nature of the content, as well as using false lashes to wrongly amplify the effects of the product.
Not only this, when users pointed out to her using false lashes Mikayla doubled down and insisted that the results were from the product alone.
Since then, the video has sparked heated debates in the beauty community but Mikayla remained mum about the situation for a week, until she posted a new video on TikTok.
While viewers were expecting a full-blown apology, they were angered to find Mikayla doing a makeup look with no clear mention of the recent controversy.
Instead she shadily said, "I’m sure we all know why we’ve all gathered here today," before proceeding to go into the specifics of the tutorial.
Her lack of response caused a new wave of backlash as fans expressed her disappointment over her disrespectful way of handling the matter.
"We need a comment on mascaragate sister," one user wrote.
"I saw this vid early as hell just for no response on mascaragate," another said.
"What mascara are you gonna use for this look???" another joked.
